Housing
Type of housing: A dorm, an independan house, AND a host family.
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Very poor internet access in dormitories, and my host families had none at all.

Personal comments
With host families, it's all about luck. I was matched very poorly with my host families, and so moved out - but I was even more unhappy in the dormitories, as they had very restricting regulations. In the end, I moved into a private house.

Extremely clean, very well organized, but too many rules to follow, and not enough independence.
